Hermione rushed inside, dragging Sirius along, and Harry followed. There was a horrible feeling nagging into the back of her head. When the trio reached the common room, all they saw was a piece of parchment placed on the table, held down by the weight of a decorative ashtray. The woman ripped it out harshly and began reading, while tears started to form in her eyes, and her hands began to tremble.

"Dear Hermione.

Don't try to stop me, but probably I'll be gone by the time you read this note. Deffinitely, I hope so. Sorry it has to be this way, and sorry it has taken me seven years, and a whole deal of quarrels to figure this out. I love you.

I was hopeful, in a way, that Jake, or Sirius, would return back to his time, and then I would have freedom to conffess it and, perhaps, that you would return my feeling. Today I realized, however, that it was not only selfish, but futile. You love him, Hermione, more than you could ever love any one, and you can only be happy if you are with him. The same happens to me with you, but, I love you so much, as a woman, as a friend, that I would give two lives for you, just so you can be happy.

That is what I'm doing. I'm replacing Sirius in the past. McGonagall has shifted my features to make me look like him. Don't worry, I know you must be scowling now, I won't change anything, indeed, I'll let things go as they have to. This is the way things have to be, the destiny has been hinting me for this. My animagi shape, my eyes and Sirius' eyes.

I know I will see you again, sadly you will not realice it's me. Finally I will be killed by Bellatrix, and that will be all. Just promise me one thing before I finish this letter, although probably I have already entered into the Room of Requirement. Promise me you will be happy, that you won't run after me in an epic search, and overall, promise me that your first son will be called Ronald. No, that last one was a joke, are you smiling?"

"Of course I am, you goof!" Hermione exclaimed through tears.

"I have to go now, Hermione. Just one last thing. Thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you for letting me copy your homework off. Overall, thank you for being my friend, the best one I have ever had. Say good bye to everyone for me, ok?

I love you, Hermy.

Yours Always:

Ronald Weasley."

The wooman broke into tears, Harry was on the verge of them. Sirius embraced the two friends in a comforting hug. It was the way it had to be, but that didn't mean it had to be fair and easy.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Ron emerged into the darkness, the same, murky, creepy darkness he had seen into the corridor before entering the portal. At first he thought it hadn't worked, however he realized it was a cool night, yet his thick sweater was making him sweat so he pulled it off. Another thing was the fact that there was not a bit of snow outside, like it had been back at his time.

"Oh, finally I found you! I've been looking all over for you!" a voice said behind himself.

Ron turned around and came face to face with a boy about his age, dark, messy hair and a pair of glasses.

"Harry?" Ron snapped automatically.

"Who?" the man inquired, looking confused.

It was then that he saw the little changes. The glasses were square instead of round and large. The eyes were brown instead of green. The face was slightly different, and there was this happy, mischievous expression in his eyes. It had worked.

"Oh, nothing, I just kind of fell asleep and had this really odd dream!" Ron explained, staring at the man and seeing how he looked convinced by this excuse.

"Well, I wanted to say sorry for not telling you about Lily, and for forgetting our plans." James said looking sincere, scratching his head and looking outside.

"It's ok, James. Sorry for running away like that, it was kind of selfish!" Ron said patting the boy's shoulder and smiling happily.

"Friends?" James inquired looking slightly relieved.

"Friends!" Ron answered energetically, hugging the man affectively.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"I got it! I got the Horcrux!" Ron, or the actual Sirius Black said triumphantly, while a weak Kreacher was laying at his feet, moaning.

The boy wrote a note to the man who had created this horrible, evil item. Ron smiled upon writting the name, only initials. The man knew who would be the next one finding the Horcrux, and wanted to leave a hint to Harry. What Ron ignored was that he would eventually forget about it, all because of his stance in Azkaban.

"R.A.B." Ron wrote down with a smile, "Ron Aka Black." He whispered, reminding himself who he had been onced, not so long ago.

The mirror flashed alive at that very moment.

"Sirius, Sirius, help! Wormtail has betrayed us! Voldemort is coming!" James' face bellowed with terror.

"I'm going!" Ron said desperately. Ron knew he would never get there in time, but what else could he do but go along with the events? After all, he had promised it to Hermione. For a brief moment, Ron wondered if Hermione also remaint faithful to the promises he pleaded in his good bye note.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"It's a boy..." Hermione said weakly, holding a little human on her arms, who was gazing everywhere with his dark blue eyes.

"A boy!" Sirius was delighted, his whole face glimmered with the joy he was feeling, illuminated with happiness. "How are we going to call him?" questioned the man to his wife.

"Ronald Black!" Hermione answered with determination, her gaze hazy as she stared into the depths of time.

The End.

AN: Ok, that is it, I finished the story. Did you like it? I deffinitely loved the ending. I was not so sure how I was going to finish it, I knew it basically but ignored how it would turn out. Finally it ended up much better than I expected. Now I'll continue working on The Wiccan, Origins in Darkness and perhaps The Last Wizard, only to finish the stories that had been started.

Thank you to the following people for having read and followed the story so faithfully, and having taken their time into reviewing:
